Question 9

What happens if I miss the CEE Kerala allotment deadline for B.Tech?

Accepted Answer

If you miss reporting within the CEE Kerala allotment deadline, your seat is cancelled and redistributed in the next allotment round.

Keep checking your CEE Kerala portal account regularly during the July 2026 allotment period.
